Axcelspring

Side members positioned between pairs of cross members provide additional torque resistance and energy storage for use in springing the board.

Grennett truck is here

The grennett inverted king pin is here. Bringing back the old Bennett from 1977. The Dead Bolt king pin is from 1988 and is new old stock. The king pin is a grade 8.
